DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ANDROID AND PC VERSIONS

In order to make the Android port as playable as possible I needed to make some small changes to the game.

In PC version you have a lantern, but porting this over to Android brought too many problems. I decided to leave the lantern out from the Android version and instead expand the environmental lighting. While doing so I also added more color which makes the Android port more pretty to look at.

To have as smooth experience as possible I capped the Android version to 30 frames per second. However, DISTRAINT has a very little motion so this is barely even noticeable.

Just an awesome game right here, it's like the fourth time a play it and it still gives me shivers. Very easy to play, even if the graphics are simple, they are just enough to be that inmersive, definitely the story its 10/10

I seldom play horror games (too scared to even download them lol) and currently my favorite one is DISTRAINT. It’s a 2D pixelated horror game that really tells a good story. I would recommend it to people who love story-rich games and also enjoy some slight psychological horror.

One of the best adventure games with a sick storyline and a hint of dark humour! Perfect pixelated representation of the amazing storyline.

I didn’t finish it. But I still like it. Sorry, I didn’t finish it. I felt a little sick while I played half of progress. So I stopped. I've played a lot of horror games, so it’s rare for me. His art style makes it a really unique psychological horror game which is a strong mind pollutant for me. In a sense, he did a great job at his sound design which builds a tense, haunting atmosphere. Even though, I like DISTRAINT’s story. It’s simple and straightforward, but the way it’s told makes it come alive. The game is about a man named Price who is working for a company that seizes people’s property. So I need to kick an elderly woman, a recluse in the woods out of their home to get the money. The developer uses horror elements like blood dripping and television static and elephant (which really scared me, I don’t know why )to represent Price’s guilty conscience.
That's everything for now. Start a new game?
